Ledlenser H8R, 600 lm, 150 m, up to 120 h stated review

The only lamp in this hub to publish lumens, beam distance and runtime together — and the listing gives two different ingress ratings, IP54 in the title and IPX4 in the bullets.

The bottom line Three figures published where the rest of this hub publishes one, and one contradiction the maker needs to settle.

What this listing puts on record

A rechargeable head torch with a focusing optic — a fast change between near and far light — up to 600 lumens, 150 metres of beam distance, a stated battery life of up to 120 hours, a low-battery warning, an integrated red rear light, a box, a micro-USB cable and a stated seven-year warranty.

Why the three figures together matter

Lumens, beam distance and runtime are the trio the category is supposed to be compared on, and this is the only listing in this hub that publishes all three. That is worth saying plainly, because eight lamps around it publish one or two.

The two gaps in that trio

No level on the 120 hours. The runtime is printed beside the 600 lumens, not tied to a setting, so the two cannot be read as a pair.

No standard named. With no convention behind them, the 600 lumens and the 150 metres are still the maker’s own figures — just far better documented ones.

The contradiction

The title says IP54. The fifth bullet says IPX4. IP54 carries a dust rating that IPX4 does not. Both are printed by the maker, and this page reports both rather than choosing.

Before ordering

If you want a focusing beam, nothing else in this hub offers one. Ask the maker which ingress rating is correct before you rely on it in dust.

Availability

Selling between 50 € and 78 € across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores when this page was checked.

It also sells on the British Amazon store in the local currency, which the range above does not cover — that range counts euro stores and nothing else.

Nothing came back from the American Amazon store, so the buy link there opens a local search instead of a page that is not there.

What it does well, and where it gives way

Strengths

  • The only lamp in this hub that publishes lumens, beam distance and runtime in the same breath
  • A focusing optic with a fast near-to-far change, which is the mechanism the other eight lamps here do not have at all
  • A low-battery warning and a stated seven-year warranty, both unusual on this shelf

Compromises

  • The listing gives two different ingress ratings — IP54 in the title, IPX4 in the bullets — and nothing reconciles them
  • The 120 hours is published without a level, so it cannot be read against the 600 lumens
  • No weight is published, on a lamp with a focusing optic and a stated 120 hour battery life

Specifications

Stated lumensUp to 600 lumens — stated, in the title and in the first bullet
Beam distance150 metres — stated, in the title and in the first bullet
RuntimeUp to 120 hours — stated, with no level attached; the figure is published beside the 600 lumens and the 150 metres rather than tied to a setting
Standard quotedNot published on the listing — the three figures are published together, and no measurement convention is named for any of them
Regulated outputNot published on the listing — a low-battery warning is stated, which is a warning rather than a claim about held output
Battery typeRechargeable pack charged over USB, micro-USB cable supplied, with a low-battery warning — stated; capacity and chemistry are not given, and nothing says the pack can be swapped
IP ratingThe title states IP54 and the fifth bullet states IPX4 — both are published by the maker and they are not the same rating; reported as written rather than settled here
WeightNot published on the listing — the listing describes weight distribution and comfort without publishing a figure

What people ask before buying

Which ingress rating applies, IP54 or IPX4?

The listing publishes both. IP54 adds a dust figure that IPX4 does not carry, so they are not interchangeable and one of them is wrong. Both are reported here as the maker wrote them; the answer has to come from the maker.

Can I plan a night on 120 hours?

Not directly. The figure has no level attached, and a lamp that can reach 600 lumens does not reach 120 hours anywhere near that setting. Read it as the lowest useful mode, and plan the walk on the setting you will actually use.
